South Korean star Ki Sung-Yueng insists Wembley won’t distract Swansea City from their Premier League campaign.

Swansea secured the club’s first-ever appearance at a major final with their two-legged Capital One Cup victory over Chelsea last week but return to top flight action this week with tricky away games at Sunderland and West Ham.

Ki does not believe Swansea’s cup success will interrupt their quest for a top 10 finish in the Premier League.

“We have concentrate on the league, the final is a month away and we have to get some results in the league first,” he said.

“The league is not finished, there are lots of games left but we want to stay high up the table by getting results.

“We do not have to win every game but we will try not to lose games.

“We are very confident but as we all know football is very tough, we know it’s easy to lose games in the Premier League. We are in a good mood and even though it’s an away game we will go out trying to win it.”

The 24-year-old should keep his place for tonight’s trip to Sunderland having returned to full training following an ankle knock picked up in Wednesday’s tie with Chelsea.

Ki was on the end of a nasty tackle from Blues midfielder Ramirez and feared his season could be over.

“I was very afraid after the tackle, I thought it was going to be a bad injury and that I could be out for three months or more,” said Ki.

“I couldn’t understand how the referee didn’t give a foul or a yellow card.

“I was in a lot of pain in the second half but I didn’t want to come off.

“I have had a lot of ankle injuries before so I know how bad it can be. I am just lucky it was not more serious.

“My ankle was a little off the ground, if it was on the ground it would have been much worse.”
